Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The computing system of claim 1, wherein scoring each of the one or more candidate end-to-end itineraries using the objective function further evaluates at least one of a number of or a quality of contingency plans for providing alternative transportation legs associated with each candidate end-to-end itinerary.

3

3. The computing system of claim 1, wherein scoring each of the one or more candidate end-to-end itineraries using the objective function further evaluates at least one of a deviation of an estimated arrival time from a requested arrival time or a deviation of an estimated departure time from a requested departure time.

4

4. The computing system of claim 1, wherein scoring each of the one or more candidate end-to-end itineraries using the objective function further evaluates at least one of an uncertainty or a variance associated with respective transportation legs of each candidate end-to-end itinerary.

5

5. The computing system of claim 1, wherein providing the data indicative of the selected end-to-end itinerary to the user device comprises providing a single end-to-end price of fulfilling the selected end-to-end itinerary, the single end-to-end price corresponding to a sum of respective prices for the plurality of transportation legs.

8

8. The computing system of claim 1, the operations further comprising: in response to receiving the indication from the user device indicative of the user choosing to request fulfillment of the selected end-to-end itinerary, adding the user at a current time to a transportation plan of at least one of the first transportation leg or the second transportation leg.

9

9. The computing system of claim 1, wherein one or more of the plurality of transportation legs is a placeholder transportation plan that will be available at a future time for which the user is seeking to travel, the placeholder transportation plan being an estimation of a transportation service that will be available at the future time generated based on at least one of historical data or real-time data.

11

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 10, wherein scoring each of the one or more candidate end-to-end itineraries using the objective function further evaluates at least one of a number of or a quality of contingency plans for providing alternative transportation legs associated with each candidate end-to-end itinerary.

12

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 10, wherein scoring each of the one or more candidate end-to-end itineraries using the objective function further evaluates at least one of a deviation of an estimated arrival time from a requested arrival time or a deviation of an estimated departure time from a requested departure time.

13

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 10, wherein scoring each of the one or more candidate end-to-end itineraries using the objective function further evaluates at least one of an uncertainty or a variance associated with respective transportation legs of each candidate end-to-end itinerary.

14

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 10, wherein providing the data indicative of the selected end-to-end itinerary to the user device comprises providing a single end-to-end price of fulfilling the selected end-to-end itinerary, the single end-to-end price corresponding to a sum of respective prices for the plurality of transportation legs.

17

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 10, wherein one or more of the plurality of transportation legs is a placeholder transportation plan that will be available at a future time for which the user is seeking to travel, the placeholder transportation plan being an estimation of a transportation service that will be available at the future time generated based on at least one of historical data or real-time data.
